On Tuesday it was reported that the New Orleans Saints are planning to release receiver Marques Colston after 10 seasons with the team. He is the leading receiver in franchise history and 49th overall for every NFL receiver, which is even more impressive when you consider that he was a seventh round pick; Colston is one of only two rookies in history to post a 1,000-yard season as a seventh rounder.
The other is Bob Hayes, who is in the Hall of Fame.
Colston likely ends up in the Hall of "All-Time Fantasy Value Steals" (I can still vividly recall him coming to prominence in 2006 as a "tight end" with the team that nobody expected would maintain his early season production) but as a guy whose entire career has been spent with the record-breaking Drew Brees, his overall legacy will always be in question.
